Figure 6-8.—Jewish vestments.
NOTE: The vestments for the Jewish chaplain
are basically the same as those worn by Jewish
personnel attending the service. In fact, the only
required vestments for male personnel attending
Jewish services are the tallit (prayer shawl) and
yarmulkah. When conducting services either in a
military chapel or the field, a male Jewish chaplain
will very often wear his duty uniform, yarmulkah,
and tallit. Although each Jewish chaplain is issued a
white chaplain’s scarf, this vestment is rarely ever
worn.
